In response to your comment that the new sfFroms structure as opposed to the use of the symfony 1.0 form helpers makes things less RAD like, I'd have to disagree. The simple reason is that the sfForms structure now abstracts the forms management from the view it is in. There were many situations where I had to partialise a form due to its large amount of re-use and that in itself made things less RAD like. Having the ability to define a form ONCE (including its validation structures and formatting) and then re-use it in multiple different scenarios, not to mention the ease with which you can create dynamic forms structures using sfForms seems to push symfony, at least in my mind, to better suit the principles behind Agile and RAD methodologies.
This is a very opinionated subject though so I am sure there will be many varied responses. It's not really possible to meet everyones expectations in a system as large and as complex as symfony so the developers went with standards/conventions. My 2 cents worth hehe..
